5 Brothers they were laying in the lobby
And one had a shotty
Greed made him thirsty for money
So he plot with his gat cocked
I need a knot, shit is getting hot
The other said, what could we do?
It's on you
He stared him down as he passed him the brew
Hm, maybe you see my view
Follow me upstairs on the 8th floor
And I will show you the door
The 8th floor? How is that?
That's where my cousin is slinging crack
He grinned, what y'all niggas is puss?
Y'all seem shook, to have niggas ambushed
But other kids say you sound like a savage
Couple of years ago you spoke mathematics
I peeped your ways, now you carry automatics
And try to give niggas traffic
Peace
Fuck y'all niggas man, I'm outta here
I'm on this money man, you know what I'm saying
I gotta get money
Anyway, it's life in the science projects
We gotta eat, fuck that
He stepped on the elevator
I'll see y'all crab niggas later
Peace
Call your cousin and warn him of the set-up
Before the brother gets wet up
He ran to the pay phone
Hoping that nobody stayed home
He tried to dial, but niggas started busting
On the corner while them other niggas hustling
He jetted back to his projects
He heard the sound of a tec
He heard the sound of a tec (x6)
Life in the science projects (x10)
In the beginning we lived as we could
Friendless wanderers that we were
We cheated and stole in order to live
We knew heat, hunger, and cold
And slept under the stars
Then, as time softened my sorrow
I began to put to use the skills I had learned
In the school of life and in my father's house
